the consensus is we need 4 trillion dollars to stabilize the debt, deficit. that means we need 1.5 trillion dollars more. the package i authorized to the speaker before the new year would achieve that. we were actually fairly close in terms of arriving at that number. so if the goal is to make sure we're being responsible about the debt and the deficit, it that if the conversation we're having, i am happy to have that conversation. by closing additional loopholes through tax reform, which the speaker has acknowledged can raise money in a sensible way, and by doing some additional cuts, including making sure we are reducing the health care spending, the main driver of the deficit, we can arrive at a package to get this thing done. i am happy to have that conversation. what i will not do is to have that that negotiation with a gun at the head of the american people, the threat that unless we get our way, unless you have medicare or medicaid or otherwise/things that the american people do not believe should be slashed that we will threatened to wreck the entire

extended deficit financing. the longer term problem is to a very large extent the product of key entitlement program that are an important part of the nation's safety net for the elderly. slowing the growth of spending in the nation's entitlement program help make programs secure for current and future workers, and we think that's very important. by 2035, there's only two workers per beneficiary, and a typical 65-year-old retiree, has a 50% longer retirement than occurred in 1995. this is a very serious issue. currently, the social security retirement is as a pay as you go system that provides more annual benefits than the payroll tax collects. if left alone, this eventually will need to insolvency, particularly with the rapidly increasing number of baby boomers who are retiring every day as was referred to by mya and louis. i don't have the programmatic expertise to suggest the right solutions, but it's important to analyze the acceptable message to assure that these programs can be available to future retirees
